This week I will be posting my 2012 Stock Up Price Lists.
You can see the stockpile price lists for toiletries here.
I want to make sure you are aware that these prices are based on national averages. I believe that 85% of the readers of FTM are able to obtain these prices using coupons, combined with sales and store rewards. Many of these prices are obtained by shopping sales cycles and require time and effort. These price points may not be the prices that you are willing to shop at. They are to give you a starting point to creating your own.
You will notice some drastic increases from my early 2011 price lists. This is due to several things:
- Increased awareness of couponing
- Increased cost of food
- Decreased values of coupons
- Tightening of coupon policies
- More people using coupons
- Less BOGO sales and less BOGO coupons
The buy price is the max I will pay for the product – unless I have a dire emergency . The stock up price is my normal buy price – meaning this is what I would normally pay and I would buy more than 1. Of course, there are always opportunity to do better than these prices. You will also notice that this years Buy Price may be higher than last year. This is due to decreased opportunities to save. Since sales are less frequent lately and less stock available, you may have to purchase products in between stock up opportunities.
Disclaimer: Some states have dairy laws which prohibit you from using coupons on dairy items.
Your prices may vary. This is just a starting point for you to develop your OWN price list.
How do your stock up prices compare?
Check back tomorrow for more stock up prices!

I would like to THANK FOR THE MOMMAS for everything you do. This website makes saving money so much easier. National chains and our local stores included.
I was watching a news show of a family, (nice home, nice cars,etc.) who lost their jobs. They now are on food stamps trying to hang on to what they have. The mother said they don’t have enough money for food and she sends her kids to bed hungry sometimes. I wanted to scream COUPONS at her.
This is a lifesaver to some who really need it.
THANKS FOR A JOB WELL DONE !

Crazy huh? I think the reasons you listed are accurate though. :/ I’m so stuck on the old prices that I haven’t been stocking up on hardly anything. I need to re-adjust and carry on.
